A classic family saga well worth a read. Surprisingly scandalous for something written over 100 years ago.

I read this book when I was at university back in the 80s. It was one of my favorites so I wanted to see if I still felt that way. And yes it’s even better than I remembered. I listened to it and the narrator was amazing.

Probablemente la mejor novela que he leído en mi vida. Un lenguaje sencillo pero no por eso insuficiente que, a través de una gran técnica narrativa, logra crear una atmósfera que no me permitía despegarme del libro.
